MODERATE

This bill was amended to expand protections for child sex crime victims by increasing the age threshold from under 18 to under 20 for certain dispositions, adding a new category for victims who committed crimes as a direct result of being trafficked, and clarifying that trafficking-related offenses can occur during the commission of the charged offense rather than only prior to it.

Scope change

The bill now applies to individuals under age 20 instead of under age 18, and includes victims who committed offenses as a direct result of trafficking in addition to those who were trafficked before committing the offense.

ELIGIBILITY

Increased the age threshold for eligible child sex crime victims from under 18 to under 20 years old.

Added a new category allowing the law to apply when a victim committed a crime as a direct result of being a trafficking victim, not just when they were trafficked before the offense.

REQUIREMENT

Changed trafficking-related offenses to apply if they occurred prior to or during the commission of the charged offense, rather than only prior to it.

TECHNICAL

Added a period at the end of the act title for grammatical consistency.
